  1. The GLAIR Cognitive Architecture Stuart C. Shapiro and Jonathan P. Bona Department of Computer Science & Engineering Center for Cognitive Science State University of New York at Buffalo shapiro@buffalo.edu jpbona@buffalo.edu

  2. Outline • Overview Integration of Acting and Reasoning Symbol Grounding Shapiro & Bona

  3. Grounded Layered Architecture with Integrated Reasoning • Major Concern: • Knowledge Representation and Reasoning • Driving Motivation: • Natural Language Understanding & Generation • Additional Concern: • Agents that act • Question: • Where do beliefs come from? • Partial Answer: • Agent’s being embodied • Agent’s being situated in the world Shapiro & Bona

  4. GLAIR Architecture Mind KL Independent of lower-body implementation Body PMLa PMLb Dependent on lower-body implementation I/P s o c k e t s PMLc Proprioception Speech W O R L D Hearing SAL Vision Motion Shapiro & Bona

  5. Sensori-Actuator Layer • Sensor and effector controllers Shapiro & Bona

  6. Perceptuo-Motor Layer • PMLa • PMLb • PMLc Shapiro & Bona

  7. PMLc • Abstracts sensors & effectors • Body’s behavioral repertoire Shapiro & Bona

  8. PMLb • Translation & Communication • Between PMLa & PMLc • Highest layer that knows body implementation Shapiro & Bona

  9. PMLa • Grounds KL symbols • Perceptual structures • Implementation of primitive actions • Registers for Embodiment & Situatedness • Deictic Registers • Modality Registers Shapiro & Bona

  10. The Knowledge Layer • Implemented in SNePS • Agent’s Beliefs • Representations of conceived of entities • Semantic Memory • Episodic Memory • Quantified & conditional beliefs • Plans for non-primitive acts • Plans to achieve goals • Beliefs re. preconditions & effects of acts • Policies: Conditions for performing acts • Self-knowledge • Meta-knowledge Shapiro & Bona

  11. Outline Overview • Integration of Acting and Reasoning Symbol Grounding Shapiro & Bona

  12. SNePS • A KRR system • Every non-atomic expression is simultaneously • An expression of SNePS logic • An assertional frame • A propositional graph • Every SNePS expression is a term • Denoting a mental entity Shapiro & Bona

  13. Ontology of Mental Entities • Entity • Proposition Agent can believe it or its negation Includes quantified & conditional beliefs • Act Agent can perform it • Policy Condition-act rule agent can adopt • Thing Other entities: individuals, categories, properties, etc. Shapiro & Bona

  14. PoliciesReasoning Acting • Forward Reasoning whendo(φ, α) wheneverdo(φ, α) • Backward Reasoning ifdo(φ, α) Shapiro & Bona

  15. Types of Acts I • External Acts affect the environment supplied by agent designer • Mental Acts affect the knowledge layer believe, disbelieve adopt, unadopt • Control Acts sequence, selection, loop, etc. Shapiro & Bona

  16. Types of Acts II • Primitive Acts Implemented in PMLa • Composite Acts Structured by control acts • Defined Acts Defined by ActPlan(α, p) belief Shapiro & Bona

  17. Acting ReasoningControl Acts snif({if(φ1, α1), …, if(φn, αn), [else(δ)]}) sniterate({if(φ1, α1), …, if(φn, αn), [else(δ)]}) withsome(x, φ(x), α(x), [δ]) withall(x, φ(x), α(x), [δ]) Shapiro & Bona

  18. Goal Talk GoalPlan(φ, p) achieve(φ) Shapiro & Bona

  19. Behavior Cycle English (Statement, Question, Command) (Current) Set of Beliefs Reasoning Clarification Dialogue Looking in World NL Analysis (Updated) Set of Beliefs (New Belief) Answer Actions Reasoning NL Generation English sentence expressing new belief answering question reporting actions Shapiro & Bona

  20. Outline Overview Integration of Acting and Reasoning • Symbol Grounding Shapiro & Bona

  21. Entities, Terms, Symbols, Objects • Agent’s mental entity: a person named Stu • SNePS term: B4 • Object in world: BICA 2009 Shapiro & Bona

  22. Alignment Mind (KL) KL term PML structure Body (PML/SAL) World Object/Phenomenon Action Shapiro & Bona

  23. Deictic Registers For being situated in the world PML registers hold KL terms Iterm denoting agent YOUterm denoting dialogue partner NOWterm denoting current time Shapiro & Bona

  24. Modality Registers For privileged first-person knowledge of what agent is doing Register for each modality holds KL term denoting act modality is engaged in Shapiro & Bona

  25. Building Episodic Memory ! KL ! ! after before time event event time e1 t1 e2 t2 agent act act agent time ! b1 q a1 a2 duration I COUNT n NOW 0 PML hom ACT Shapiro & Bona
